Kris Kobach says he has "proof" of voter fraud in New Hampshire. He can’t be serious.

According to Kobach, that proof comes in the form of 6,450 voters in New Hampshire who registered to vote on the day of the 2016 election using an out-of-state drivers license. Data from the New Hampshire secretary of state (who is also a member of Trump’s voter fraud commission) shows that 5,526 of those voters had not subsequently obtained a New Hampshire driver’s license by Aug. 30.

To Kobach, that suggests were never actually residents of New Hampshire, and hence cast their votes illegally.

In fact, there’s a far simpler explanation: Most of those voters were college students from out of state, who are perfectly allowed to register and vote in New Hampshire under state law — with or without a New Hampshire driver’s license.
